An Edmonton jury in a first-degree murder trial for an alleged high-ranking gangster has been told about payments made in the case by the RCMP’s witness protection program.

The jurors were given an agreed statement of facts detailing the amounts paid out for some of the witnesses who have testified against White Boy Posse member Josh Petrin, 33.

The document reveals nearly $77,000 was spent by the federal program on behalf of Jordan St. Amant, a former drug dealer for the gang who is in the program and testified at Petrin’s trial Monday.

It says $18,369 was paid on an emergency basis for accommodation and meals while St. Amant was being assessed for entry into the program, $845 was paid on behalf of him, but not received directly by him, and $57,613 went to total maintenance funds expended by the RCMP, including costs to travel to and from court.

St. Amant also testified under cross-examination that he was never prosecuted for any crimes once he entered the program.

During his testimony, St. Amant spoke of going to police after getting death threat messages from Petrin after $160,000 worth of crack cocaine went missing during a selling trip to Inuvik.

According to the agreed statement of facts, Petrin’s ex-girlfriend Karissa Dow — who testified at the trial on Tuesday — also received money from the witness protection program, although she told the jury she never actually entered into the program.

The document says $5,028 was spent on an emergency basis for accommodation and meals for Dow while she was being assessed for the program and she got a one-time $30,000 payment, in two instalments, to help with security, protection and re-establishment.

Dow testified she never tried to get into the progam “because I have family,” but said she had conversations with the RCMP “about my safety.” She also said the witness protection program “moved me.”

Dow also testified that Petrin revealed to her that he was a “patched” member and a “boss” with the “drug-dealing” White Boy Posse street gang and said he has a WBP tattoo on his arm.

In cross-examination, Dow said she was pressured to speak with the RCMP and told jurors that one Mountie threatened to have her jailed and to have her newborn baby taken away.

She later clarified that the officer told her after Petrin‘s arrest that they could take away her child. She also said the officer told her friends she was going to deliver the baby while in jail. She added her daughter was never taken away and she was never charged.

Jazmyne Night, a former drug dealer for the White Boy Posse who testified Wednesday, told jurors she declined an invitation to be in the witness protection program, but said she was paid $2,500 to provide police with a statement in a related trial in Saskatoon. She added she did not receive anything to testify against Petrin.

Petrin is accused of directing the Sept. 25, 2012, slaying of Bryan Gower, 35. The jury has heard Gower was shot dead after two armed gang affiliates ambushed him during a supposed drug deal outside Lloydminster. Both men were given life sentences for the murder.
